Answer:

The imagery with which Irving described the mountains and the forest contributes to the story:

D. By enhancing the mystical quality of the environment for the reader.

Explanation:

"Rip Van Winkle" is an allegoric short story by author Washington Irving. The main character is Van Winkle himself who, after going up the Catskills, falls and remains asleep for 20 years.

<u>When Irving describes the mountains and the forests where Van Winkle ends up falling asleep, he does so with imagery. Imagery is a literary device used to make scenes and descriptions more vivid to the audience. In this case, Irving's word choice helps enhance the mystical quality of the environment. That makes it easier for the reader to accept when or even predict that something magical will take place in the story. </u>Some of the words and phrases used by Irving are: "the still solitudes had echoed;" "the reflection of a purple cloud;" " glassy bosom;" " the mountains began to throw their long blue shadows over the valleys."

The answer could be that the author wanted to show readers how unjust, cruel, and incorrect prejudices can be. After the main conflict is resolved, the narrator goes on to prove how incorrect everyone's prejudices about the Duvitches were. I read that book last year :)

Answer:

C. Experts disagree about whether online writing has helped or hurt students' writing skills overall

Explanation:

Option C is the best option that synthesizes information from both sources.

This is true because in Source 1, we see that Nakamura actually pointed out that the internet has affected the writing skills of students. But in Source 2, Linda Idris tends to disagree with that. Idris tend to point out the positive impact that online writing has made in students.

We then discover that there tends to be a disagreement from both sources about whether truly online writing has helped or hurt students' writing skills overall.

Which statement would be an effective conclusion for the evaluation of an article on the potential threat of
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

I believe the best answer to be letter D) Therefore, Wilson's argument that technology makes it more difficult for students to concentrate is thoroughly

researched and provides ample supporting evidence.

Explanation:

We can choose the option above through simple elimination. Option A is not a conclusion at all; it seems to present the final argument of the article, which means it's still part of the development. Letter B presents a "weak" personal opinion which could be a conclusion if it weren't based on personal experience instead of on the arguments offered in the article. Letter C looks more like a thesis statement than a conclusion, in the sense that is presents the topic of the article but not what can be concluded from it. Therefore, letter D seems to be the best option. That is the conclusion of a person who read the article, their evaluation of it: that it was well researched and filled with solid evidence.
